What:
Delphi Yacc & Lex is a parser generator toolset for Delphi and Kylix,
based on Turbo Pascal Lex and Yacc, version 4.1a, by Albert Graef et al [1].
Why:
The primary goal of the project is to clean up the code, and improve
compatibility and maintainability with modern versions and compilers
of the Pascal language (such as Delphi and Kylix).
Changes:
* Relicensed the following files under the LGPL:
- dlib.pas
- lexlib.pas
- yacclib.pas
Note: this was done to eliminate any confusion regarding the use of
generated parsers and the above support files in propietary software.
The files lexlib.pas and yacclib.pas were present in dyacclex's
predecessor, TPLY 4.1, without a license.
* Added PDF manual based on original TPLY 4.1 manual.
Compilation:
Compiling DYACCLEX is pretty straightforward, you only need the
following ingredients:
Linux:
Borland Kylix 3
GNU make (usually pre-installed on your system)
Windows:
Borland Delphi 6 or higher
GNU make (available from
http://www.grendelproject.nl/dls/gnumake-win32.zip)
If these ingredients are present, you then enter 'make'.
When the process terminates succesfully, you can find executables in
the 'src/lex' and 'src/yacc' directories.
Installation:
If you want to move the binaries (dyacc.exe and dlex.exe on a Windows
machine, dyacc and dlex on a Linux machine), make sure you
copy yylex.cod and yyparse.cod along with them.
All files generated by dyacc need yacclib.pas, and all files generated
by dlex need lexlib.pas. Both units can be found in the 'src' directory.
